After only a few days after the Khitan envoy arrived in Beijing, the Goryeo people gave in to the matter on Danluo Island.Guo Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had seen the gate leading to the mountains of gold and silver!
The Liao Kingdom hopes to negotiate peace this time.
After years of war, countless people died, and Taiping came late.
Guo Shao once again confirmed his concept: the so-called peace is nothing more than a balance created by war; only when the opponent understands that it is necessary to pay the same heavy price to start a war, they will cherish peace.
Guo Shao issued an order, saying that the Khitan had a great relationship with the Central Plains. During the Tang Dynasty, it was a border town of the Central Plains court. It should have lived in harmony and also showed goodwill.
But on the other hand, the Liao Kingdom asked to support the people to make the king and his subordinates.
As for whether Liao Kingdom agrees to surrender or not, they most likely won’t agree. After all, Liao Kingdom is also a big country that dominates the northern grasslands.
Anyway, the Liao Kingdom did not dare to attack the Central Plains at this time, and it would be useless to discuss peace or not; if they really dared to fight, peace or not would be of use!
The Goryeo envoy quickly submitted a memorial and asked Daxu the court's attitude towards the Liao Kingdom.
Guo Shao asked the Ministry of Rites to reply to Goryeo, Daxu fought for years, and the people were suffering and waited for a little rest.
Borrowing Danluo Island is to facilitate maritime trade exchanges with Goryeo and Bai (Tongji) and accumulate military expenditures for the national treasury.
The Goryeo Kingdom would never think that Xu Chao borrowed Danluo Island to attack them... Even if the Central Plains wanted to conquer Goryeo, it would be done by land, which was much more convenient.
Going to the distant Danluo Island from the sea, the wind and waves on the sea are unstable, which is simply thankless.
...In early summer, the crops on both sides of the Bian River are lush and lush, and everything is full of vitality.
The artificial river dug out from the Bian River was full of water. Guo Shao came here surrounded by the official guards and heard the rustling sound of the water flow and the heavy clanging sound of the forging hammers from a distance.
Guo Shao looked up and saw the sky in Zaojiafang was filled with black smoke and noisy.If you don’t look at the classical city walls and buildings, this scene will be like entering a factory area.
The place surrounded by the city wall is called the Crafting House, but in fact it also forged weapons, firearms and other weapons; this name has been used only because it was built to forge armor at the beginning.
I would like to ask why the huge Daxu Chao was so short of money. Apart from the imperial guards who ate imperial grain, the craftsmen and men in the entire city were all supported by the treasury expenses. In the city, except for the craftsmen and officials, they were their families; not to mention the raw materials transported here every day.
There were military weapons supervisor Zan Jurun, commander of the Jiaolong Army, and Han Tong and others. Han Tong wanted to see the copper cannons specially ordered for warships. The cannons used in the water army were different, and some of the main components were different, such as in order to use iron chains to buffer the recoil of the cannon on the ship, recasting the cannon ears, etc.
And Guo Shao went to inspect the military.
The emperor came from time to time and could play a role. Not only did he understand the equipment production of the army, but he also put pressure on the Zaojiafang, so that they would not dare to make shoddy or embezzle too much.
Guo Shao knew very well that there was greed from top to bottom. Last time, Li Chuyun mentioned that county officials only took advantage of the situation.
Guo Shao had no good idea. It was difficult for people to die for money and birds to die for food. It was difficult for the government-run yamen not to be greedy.
Besides, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. He just hopes that these people will not look too ugly or too much. Just do good things if they are greedy for money.
Your Majesty will live forever!A group of people kowtowed outside the city gate.Guo Shao didn't say anything in the carriage, and the eunuch Yang Shiliang said for a while: Your Majesty will let you calm down.
A group of people entered the city gate. Guo Shao picked up the curtain and saw dust and smoke everywhere, which was completely different from that in Tokyo.They then entered a city gate, which was an important area of the workshop and the yamen.
When he arrived at the gate of the city's yamen, Guo Shao walked down from the carriage. A pattern on the screen wall immediately aroused his interest because it was a scale.
He went up to observe and saw that it was a fine straight line engraved on the marble with a scale on it.
An official immediately came up and bowed and said: All workshops in the city use this scale to avoid different sizes of each workshop and difficulty in division of labor.
Guo Shao turned around and said to Zan Jurun: This city has been built for several years and has been effective.
Zan Jurun was praised, with a happy expression on his face and said, "It's all thanks to Your Majesty's wisdom!"
Guo Shao stood in front of the screen wall for a while, and did not go in. Only some eunuchs and officials entered... The people from the provincial and ministry of households went in to check the accounts.
The ministers and generals followed Guo Shao to the workshop to inspect the site.
As soon as I entered the workshop, it was extremely stuffy and the sound was deafening.
Guo Shao walked over with the sound of waving and saw a rough and complex structure.
A copper cannon was mounted on a shelf, and the cannon body was clamped on it by cast iron objects and was also fixed with wedges.
Guo Shao was very interested in the rapid rotation of the muzzle.
It was turning like a big drill bit.
Guo Shao looked closely and saw that the transmission was a hydraulic transmission wheel like a forged hammer. It was telescopic and transmitted on the large wheel with iron chains, and then used twisting force to rotate the drill bit back and forth.
A shirtless craftsman was dipping oil on the chain while wiping sweat from his forehead.
Zan Ju Run said: Your Majesty, this is grinding the cannon chamber.After the copper cannon is cast, the barrel is rough and uneven, so it has to be polished smoothly and smoothly. It is made of whetstone drill bits.At first, the drill was made by manpower in the machining shop, but the drill was too heavy and it was really slow.Later, everyone asked the craftsmen to build this thing according to the water wheel of the forging hammer.
It was smoky here, but Guo Shao was a little excited.
The thing in front of me is still far from being called a machine tool. It is mainly because the vise that fixes objects (barrels) are too crude and the drill bit is not very useful.
But Zaojiafang has gradually learned to make tools to process weapons, which is a great progress.
Guo Shao pondered for a moment, pointed at the iron chain transmission wheel: This thing is inefficient, you can use gears instead, and find a way to try it.
Zan Jurun was a little confused.
Guo Shao said: I will go back to the yamen later and I will show you my paintings.
He pointed to the rack that sets the gun barrel: This platform can also be improved, and there is also a drill bit. No matter how hard the whetstone is, it is limited, how much use can it be?No wonder you cast cannons so slowly.Make some rules and reward those craftsmen who have figured out their achievements, military weapon supervisors and officials of the Ministry of Works, and are also stingy to reward craftsmen who have made great contributions.
Zan Jurun clasped his fists and said loudly: I obey the order.
Everyone went to another workshop, and the craftsmen inside were building a coercion gun, and many people were drilling and grinding the barrel with simple but clever tools.
Guo Shao had seen that tool, but he did not invent it, but Lu Ban's apprentice was mainly used by carpenters. The principle is to use hemp rope to twist.
The craftsmen pushed and pulled the wooden tools up and down, and the awl drill bit in the middle rotated back and forth.
The muskets used by Xu Jun have limited range and lethality, but there are many processes to do it.There are many people who divide the work and do various processes.
Guo Shao also called the craftsman in the workshop to take the list to see the methods of division of labor in management and propose some improvement methods on the spot... Guo Shao has never learned management, but he knows the most basic concept: assembly line and standard homework.
In fact, this set of things was known during the Qin Dynasty, and later dynasties forgot the methods of their ancestors.
This Zaojiafang has been in operation for several years. After a inspection, Guo Shao saw its progress.
As long as the basic things are built and there is a soil for development, Guo Shao believes that everything will evolve!
By noon, Guo Shao came out of the workshop and stood in front of the waterfall-like hydraulic engine (mules and horses are used in dry seasons), and his mood was very different.
The huge noise in the workshop seemed to turn into a wonderful symphony in Guo Shao's ears, and it was like the sound of the heartbeat of a huge machine.
From here, many dreams will become possible.
The sun shines quietly on the earth in mid-air, and everything will be a new beginning in the sun.Guo Shao is waiting for a huge amount of money to inject new impetus into his dream!
The Liao Kingdom hopes to negotiate peace this time.
